Tully was brought to Jungle Friends after he was confiscated from his original owners and placed at a wildlife center. The caring staff there had to find a reputable sanctuary to take him, otherwise it was possible that he would have been euthanized! Luckily for him, they reached out to Jungle Friends and he was able to find a permanent home here.

Though he was shy at first, Tully's grown into a confident and feisty marmoset! He loves to monitor the daily activities of his care staff, and is quick to give his opinion on anything he sees with a threat face and a disapproving chatter if needed. He's easy to win over though- all it takes is a piece of cereal, his favorite food! When he's not busy supervising his caregivers, he can be found watching his neighbors from his outdoor habitat.
